Western governments express outrage and fear over the enactment of a law in Uganda. Law provides harsh penalties for same-sex relations and the "promotion" of homosexuality.
Kampala says it wants to "protect the sanctity of the family" Human Rights Watch calls it a "discriminatory law" Amnesty International denounces "a deeply repressive law" London says it is "dismayed" by this "deeply discriminatory" promulgation."This law undermines the constitutionally guaranteed protections and freedoms of all Ugandans," says Andrew Mitchell.
